S.m Diego is attempting to renig cu Ixt own proposition for running the Coast to Phoenix motorcycle road endurance race for the fall of 1914 Mi-curding to many prominent mem Ws of local motorcycle circles. After attempting to grab all the gh'ry for the first race that was run to Phoenix from' the southern expo-v:ii'-n city, the motorcycle sharps 'vor there are wanting to change evrythint to suit themselves in spite -f their agreement or else drop all onneotion with the proposition. This ait tuition does not set very well on the minds of the. local men :itt they are not without hopes of finally hriiw'ng some sort of order lit of the chaos even if it amounts '. compromising with San Diego on certain matters in connection with the race. When the motorcycle road races were first agreed upon, the two clubs the cities agreed also that San Diego should run the first one. Phoe nix the second, anil that they should lth be from San Diego to Phoenix. In consideration of this the race in lilT) was to be from Phoenix to San Diego. Then the boys of the two towns raised the money to conduct the race Phoenix raising most of it by tlie way. Now comes the wcond race. San l'e;o is perfectly willing to have the race start from that: city but wants to place the date a week ahead of the Arizona State Fair something that will be of no earthly use to Phoenix and this also after the Fair '.mission has agreed to put up some of the money and San Diego knows it. San Diego's answer to the cry f unfairness that goes up from Phoenix in face 'of this is to let Phoenix off with a $100 subscription and let the local hoys run every thing. A counter proposition has been !ent in making the proposition so j that the race can be run to end here fair week and to pledge San Diego j r..r somewhat more of a purse than Sli'O. San Diego is very much larger than Phoenix and more able to put up momy for an event that so well advertises the city as does this. American League I i Club t Philadelphia !

Announcement is made that the Bearkins will meet the Tigers on Sep tember 26 next for a ferocious jungle battle. The Tigers defeated the Cubs last year and in consequence Rem is anxious for the pelts of the striped cats. Both camps naturally will do lots of training.

Catton will continue shooting from the position the ivories were left in last evening with a count of 29 points to start with. POPE GIVES GOOD ONE ON FIRESTONE' TIRES A. E. Pope, the wide awake agent for Firestone, Tires has returned from a visit to Los Angeles during which time he combined both business and pleas; ure in his usual enterprising way. While away he heard a few good ones in connection with Firestone tires among which he told the following: "Not long since when Villa's men were making an advance near El Toro, one of the motor trucks in the main force ran out of gasoline. A service truck loaded with gasoline, oil, extra tihes and a complete repair outfit was ordered up from the rear mid refilled the gas tank. The march was con tinued and the service wagon then waited for the rear guard to come up. While the truck was thus resting in the road between the main body and the- rear guard, the federals, under Colonel Coo-Coo made an attack on the service oar from the left flank. All the service squad had in tha way of weapons was a sack full of Bull Dur ham, a spy glass and a shot gun. "Xothing daunted, Corporal Pedro ordered the spare Firestone Tires with their steel rims, which the service wa gon carried, tinloaded from the truck and placed as a barricade. Behind this rubber and steel bulwark, Villa's men felt safe. "As the federals fired, the bullets re bounded and killed Colonel Coo-Coo's men in great numbers; the gallantr Coo Coo himself being among the five killed and wounded. Thus weakened, the federals were force d to retreat. When the rar guard came up they found the service wagon crew enjoying a quiet game of Monte within the con fines of the rubber rampart." "In view of the effect this story may have had upon Villa, it is suggested tl.t war correspondents look behind every pile of Firestone Tires they come across, considering the possibility of finding Pancho there esconced enjoy ing a quiet game in safety. place in the Federal league by beating Chicago mainly through Falkenberg's good pitching and hard' hitting.

"Oh, no," said he. "We always finds 'em again the next 'day." ' . o CANAL DEFENSES CONCEALED Among the defenses of the Pana ma canal there will be several bat teries of 16-inch and 12-inch rifles, all of which will be concealed in such manner that,? with the .use of smoke less powder, it will be impossible to locate them. REPARATION OROER ASKED FROM I. C. C. Complaint was filed yesterday with the interstate commerce commission by the Arizona corporation commission in behalf of the California Pine Box and Lumber company covering reparation to the amount of $126.50 predicated on one earload of box shooks shipped from Williams to Clifton. The complaint states that a rate of $13.80 per ton was charged on the ship ment, whereas the interstate commerce commission has named a reasonable schedule of rates from IVilliams and related points to certain destinations in Arizona, not including Clifton, and the commission requests that reparation be made on a basis of $S.80 per ton. The complaint is filed against all the car riers by whom the shipment was moved, namely the Santa Fe, Arizona Eastern, Southern Pacific and Arizona and Xew Mexico railroad companies. o r AMUSEMENTS f The Last Chance Tonight, or not at all, local amuse ment patrons may see the muchly dis cussed "Soul Kiss" at the Columbia, for a new show is underlined for the second half of the week, and the adap tion from the Follies is not to be re peated. "The Soul Kiss" is as free from plot as the average busy person could de sire, but there are all the other quali ties that make for an evening of pleas ant entertainment in abreviated form. Witty dialogue, bright repartee, tune ful songs of recent and some not quite so recent vintage, stirring mu sic, bc-k-y of shapely chorus girls with life and rythm, new costumes and scenery, and a dash that makes for a good show, are combined for merri ment that makes an audience patiently await the new attraction to follow, - "Bobbie" Dean will come into her own tomorrow night, when "The Mil lion Dollar Doll" will have a lavish staging. Miss Dean is a prime favor ite in Phoenix, and that she will be the central figure of the next offering is assurance of a "sell out" early in the evening. Tomorrow night the first of the Pathe reels in which European activi ties are shown is one of the two new subjects to be presented prior to each of the two nightly musical shows. Ow ing to the large crowds, as many as can conveniently do so, be seated by 7:80 for the first show, and the second show will begin promptly at 9:10. Foggs Millions The two reel Vitagraph picture at the Lamara today under the title of "Foggs Millions" is one of the best VI tagraph's that has been seen here in many, a long day. It is a story of the marriage of an intriguing actress to a millionaire and what came of it. and it is distinctively worth while. The Selig news pictorial this week shows the men of the animal department of the Chicago Zoo clipping the claws of one of the largest lions in captivity and it j is some job. The split Lubin picture is a side sputter for fair. The Wilderness Mail The Selig company played a winner when they produced the great picture that is the headliner at the Arizona tonight, and which occupied a promin ent place on the bill yesterday. It is not often that a Phoenix audience ap plauds a picture but the large crowd did last night. There are two reels of the picture, Tom Mix the intrepid cow man and champion of the world ap pears in the picture most prominently. "Prosecution" is the name of a stirring Vitagraph film, while the split Lubin is a great laugh producer. The Sign of the Secret Nine This is not a baseball picture but a story of one of the wildest bunches of -society thieves that ever story is told in three parts on the screen of the Plaza theater today, where It is a part of the six reel feature bill. "The Yellow Streak" a Pathe comedy, and "A South African Whale Hunt" an Edison, together with a comedy picture "The Dodge That Failed" go to make up a most complete and satisfactory bill. . "WAR IS HELL" Today is feature day at the Lion theater and the program contains six reels of interesting film, in which the feature is a four-reel Pathe colored production entitled "War Is Hell." It is. a splendid slo.-y, well acted and contains on exciting fight between aeroplanes in mid-air, and a thrilling explosion in a mill. This picture will give you an idea of conditions in the European, war. A Thanhouser drama, "The Leaven of Good," and a Key stone drama entitled "The Eaves dropper," complete the program, which is exceptional from every standpoint. The Regale King Baggott and Leah Baird come again today to the Regale theater 210 212' East Washington street, in an exceptionally- interesting Imp two-reel drama. "The Flaming Diagram". This is a photo-play having to do with the knavery and the scheming in high po litical circles of the United States gov ernment of a foreign spy's effort to secure the formula for a new and won derful explosive and his defeat through the cunning of a dead inventor. The play 13 rife with suspense; the action J is . swift and sure, culminating in a smashing climax. This play is by a man who knows every avenue of the government service. He has put his knowledge into this play. "The Heart of Carita" nn Eclair Mexican drama, should please every patron of the Re gale. "The Chicken Chasers", a Joker comedy, featuring Max Asher, will be a pleasant rounding out of an already satisfactory program. Gun Repairing! PINNEY & ROBINSON; 17 South Central j DICK WET1T 10 EMP SHOW SURE Phoenix, Arizona;1 Sept. 1, 1914. Dear Jim: I went 'round to that Empress again last night, and I didn't see a single one sorry he was there. I'd try to tell you what I saw; 1 sure am . "vodvil" crazy a man who passes up that show does so because he's lazv. How About This T nhin feature started the thing; I'm talking "movies" now. You know one time I didn't like a picture, but somenow wnen l see one nive uuu last night, I simply have to roar. cause, nal. that is some picture; ! couldn't ask for nothin' more. "A j Cross in Crime" is what its called ji Tinnin of n storv it takes two reels to run it through but each scene adds to the glory that Lubin copped off long ago; it sure did make some hit the finish of that story almost made me throw a fit. Then out comes act that s number one it's Hayter and Janet for good clean comedy they cert'ny cop the cne best bet. It's just a simple talk ing team with singing on the side, but say, they just mopped up, old man. 1 ciappeu mi l inousm. i just bust my hands; I am an eager guy to give an act some good ap plause whenever it gets by. And listen Bud, don't ever think I was the only one thatc lapped hands; why, all the folks just joined right in the fun. And when at last the finish came that team did sure look happy, 'cause any time they get a hand, it makes their work more sna ppy. The second act is toatin' three every one of them a winner. I wouldn't fib to you, old man. 'cause you know I'm no sinner. They've got a stunt worked with the teeth a novelty affair it starts off with a dainty miss a-swinging in the air off a rope that's tied 'way up some where in the flies. I thought I'd seen them all, but that one made me "ope" my eyes. And then two more came out that swelled the bunch in all to three. Boy, they cert'ny start ed something with that "swinging jamboree. The last act is a Glancing team got something on them all. I haven't seen an act as good since sometime way last fall. They start off with a singing dance, and boy, they are a riot I'd like to see some of those hams just get up there and try it. Then, out he comes for soft shoe work Geo. Primrose style, you know the way he slings his feet around just makes almost a show. Then out she comes a-dancin' antf a-runnin' cn her toes; th!.vay she does that stunt I ain't found no one yet that knows. It's just as graceful as a bird, don't think I'm sentimental but that dance even beats the stuff they call the Oriental. Well, so long boy, I've got to quit: I'll write again next week if you don't hear from me, old man, you'll know I sure am meek. DICK. 0 THE INDEPENDENT VOTER THE HOPE OF THE NATION (By Geo. B. Wilcox.) The most dangerous, as well as the most useless individual, from the standpoint of national welfare, is the voter who takes pride in referring to the fact that he has always voted a straight ticket in other words, the yellow dog" voter. The man who has no more interest in the welfare of his country than he who votes fo.- a candidate, just because said candidate happens to be on his ticket, is a dangerous propo sition. He acknowledges to the world that he does not think for himself, and that his judgment is worth nothing, for he is willing to place in a position of trust any individual, no matter how dishonest or incompetent the candidate may be, if he has been able through hook or crook to land the nomination on the ticket. If all voters allowed themselves to be herded and influenced in this way, a party once in power could never be ousted, except by a revolution, and our government" would soon be come a farce. Thank goodness! we have enough broad-mindetJ men and women in lids country, who are not controlled in this way, who hold the balance of power, and have independence enough to use that power when an emer gency arises to defeat any political organization that has become so cor rupt and a.-rogant that it has become a menace to good government. This class of voters not only inform themselves as to the principles a party stands for before giving it their support, but look into the past history of the individual candidate in order to determine for themselves as tc whether or not his record, and daily life, is such as to guarantee his sincerity in pledging himself to carry out his party program, and his ability to do so if elected. The man who, in these enlightened times, makes the boast that he would rather vote for a yellow dog on his party ticket, than vote for the best man in the community whose name appears on the opposing ticket, is either a fool or a knave, and should neve- be elected to public office; lie is dangerous enough as a voter, but as an office holder he is a menace. The intelligent voter, now holding! the balance of power, demands that a party shall have an up-to-date program, and candidates who are able and willing to carry out that program, before it, or they, can count on his supoprt. This is as it should be. The day of the "yellow dog" voter is past. o Necessity knows no law.' and it is usually too poor to interest a lawyer. Open all day "THEI EOT ALWAYS' N. FIRST iT.

I Picnic at Riverside "The People's Playground" A Good Time for a Dime Now that the fall season is at hand, when the weather and climatic conditions here are PERFECT FOR PICNICS and out of door gatherings, we wish to call the attention of all the lodges, societies, churches, Sunday schools, families and individuals of Ph;oenix and vicinity to the opportunites and advantages Riverside Park offers for the holding of picnics, social gath erings and entertainments for the benefit, pleasure and better acquaintance of everyone. Nearly all of us remember with pleasure the fall picnics of the old days "back East," when everyone packed a basket lunch and went to the woods for the day and had a good time out of doors. Such gatherings always bring lodge, church and society members and their families into a close and pleasant relationship of a more intimate nature than is possible in town. New friends and acquaintances are made and old friends are made better friends. It is a relief to the women and children just to get away from home for the day and forget the household cares; the war, hard times and business worries are forgotten by the men, and everyone has a good time and FEELS BETTER FOR IT. Heretofore there has been no suitable place in this vicinity for the holding of such gatherings, but now that Riverside Park has been built at your very doors, and thousands of dollars expended in preparing picnic grounds, entertainments, amusements and conveniences for your pleasure and comfort, it is possible for everyone to take advantage of the benefits offered. Remember RIVERSIDE PARK IS THE PLACE WHERE YOU CAN HAVE A GOOD TIME FOR A DIME. Our idea in building Riverside Park was to have a People's Playground a place where everyone could feel perfectly at home at all times to come there and rest, recreate, swim, picnic and have a good time generally, whether they spend a nickel or not. Of course it costs a great deal of money to build and operate a park like Riverside, and it takes thousands of nickels and dimes to pay the daily running expenses, and we appreciate the loyal support and patronage we have had and must have to pay expenses, but we wish it understood that if you can't afford to spend ary money for the amusements offered, we want you to COME ANYWAY and look on and take advantage of the FREE AMUSEMENTS AND ENJOYMENTS FOR EVERYONE. We have TWO FREE DAYS EVERY WEEK Mondays and Fridays and on these days we extend a cordial invitation to women and childien under fifteen to come to the Park and enjoy themselves NO ADMISSION BEING CHARGED FOR WOMEN' AND CHILDREN on these days until 5 o'clock in the afternoon and a special rate of fifteen cents being made to them for baths. COME IN FREE, STAY AND SEE THE PICTURES, WATCH. THE SWIMMING, HEAR THE MUSIC, MAKE FACES AT THE MONKEYS, make use of the picnic and playgrouTtds, see the menagerie, give the kids a bath in the Phoenix Ocean and HAVE A GOOD TIME yourself from early morning until as late as you want to stay. The world will seem brighter and next day you will feel more like doing something. Lodges, secret societies, state societies, churches, families, and all others are invited to PK'NKi AT RIVERSIDE. For large picnics dates will be assigned in the order of application, each one being given the date desired as far as possible. The Park Management will always co-operate with you in every way possible in helping you to have a good time. We are always ready to take care of you whether notified or not. but for large picnics we can do more if arrangements are made beforehand. Y'ours, for a Good Time for a Dime, RIVERSIDE PARK CO.
